The SolutionYOU HAVE BEENWaiting For!

No need for lengthy courses, reading a stack of books or googling for hours, we have done the hard work for you. Taking what we have learnt over the years from working in the building industry and renovating property, we have created easy to use, step by step guides for you to plan, organise and build your next project.

Our Toolkits will show you how to:

Understand your options

Create your project brief

Ask the questions you need to get your design right

Know who you can choose to work with

Budget, prepare and negotiate

Compare and evaluate costs and quotes

Understand your plans and drawings

Navigate the build sequence for your project

Know which trades will be involved in the build

How to find the right trades for your project

Manage your builder and trade professionals

Master the language of building

Manage the handover and completion

Find other useful links and resources

Decide the best options for you

Whether you are simply thinking about renovating or building, or are just about to kick things off, having our Toolkit by your side as you source, plan, negotiate and manage your project will save you time, money and take the headache out of building!

Plastic Sleeve Inserts to store quotes and brochures for quick and easy access

Plenty of space for you to add and store all those pieces of paper you will collect whilst you plan, research and execute the build

All this comes in a handy Build in Common Tote Bag to allow you to take your Project Toolkit with you as you source products, visit showrooms and meet with building professionals on site. The Toolkit will be your go-to-reference guide as your renovation or building project takes shape. Once completed, it is also a wonderful way to store all your paperwork, warranties and receipts in one handy place for easy reference down the track.

All that's left now is to select the right Toolkit for your project!

Extension Toolkit

Extension Toolkit

Many of us are choosing to extend or renovate our homes to give ourselves more room to live, play or work, rather than selling up and moving on. If you are taking this approach and are planning on extending up or out, by adding another storey or a couple of extra rooms, let our Extension Toolkit take the pain out of getting started. Understanding the 7 key steps in the build cycle will make you feel confident and comfortable sourcing and negotiating with trades and builders.

Builders

As a builder, our range of Toolkits are an incredible value-add to your clients, enabling them to better understand the building process and calibrate expectations of how it will all work before the project begins. Knowing this up front, will take away the unknown and create a smoother build for all involved. Importantly having informed clients will allow you to focus on what you do best – building!
